I'm a 16 year old detransitioned butch lesbian. I jumped on the testosterone bandwagon and pushed incessantly until I got it. I took T for ~9 months before realizing that I had never really wanted it. Right now I'm working on training my voice to make it sound remotely like how it used to be. In the future I'll be using electrolysis to get rid of the excess hair. Aside from a mistaken transition, my experiences with gender haven't been too horrible. People were largely okay with my slow shift to a more "masculine" presentation as I got older, but they didn't get to see me as truly butch: I only cut my hair really short and changed my wardrobe after starting my social transition. At the moment, I'm really nervous as to how people will react to me "coming out" all over again, and to how they'll handle my masculinity.
